About wine tastings and tours in Paris
In Paris, you’ll learn about centuries of French winemaking tradition in a city that truly appreciates the pleasure of drinking well. Local Airbnb Experiences hosts offer many ways to experience the city’s culture of wine. You can spend a morning blending your own wine in an historic underground cellar, or take an afternoon to blind-test Champagne. Or, consider a day trip to one of France’s famed terroirs. You’ll be within easy reach of Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, and Sancerre, where you can meet the winemakers. What makes the Paris wine scene so special is its range. You can enjoy a traditional Grand Cru tasting or pop into a local bar for a natural wine flight that costs less than a museum ticket.
Top highlights for your visit
Champagne and sparkling wine
Sparkling wine is a frequent player in Paris tastings, whether you’re enjoying a celebratory flight in a candlelit bar or day trip to the chalk cellars where it’s made. Because of Paris’s proximity to the Champagne region, it’s one of the best cities to taste the real thing.
Bold reds and bright whites
Paris boasts excellent wine from every corner of France. Try the structured reds of Burgundy and Bordeaux, the crisp whites of the Loire and Sancerre, or the rosés of Provence. A great tasting guide will explain the terroir and teach you to taste the regional differences. It’s a truly enjoyable way to learn about French wine without cracking open a textbook.
Natural and organic wine
The city’s youngest wine scene leans natural, with low-intervention bottles poured in the bars and cavistes of Le Marais and Canal Saint-Martin. It’s a funky and complex side of French wine most visitors never get to try.
Cellars beneath the city
Some of the oldest tasting rooms in Paris are underground, in the stone cellars that have been used to age wine for centuries. Descending into these wine caves, glass in hand, is an experience you won’t forget.
